For a show we are doing we need a mirror ball. It occurred to me today when I was hanging it that there is no actual way to safety a mirror ball. On the motor spindle there is only a very small hole, just big enough for the ring on the mirror ball to fit through. Is there a way of doing this, and I just can see it, or is thins just one of those things which people ignore?
My main concern is that all that is holding up the ball which weighs a few kg's is a split ring (is that what they are called? The things which key rings are made out of) To me it seems like if there was enough pressure on one point for an extended period of time, the ring could open up. We will only have it hung for a few weeks, but even so, that could be enough time.
What do you guys reckon? Am I just being overly cautious or is there something else I should be using?
